Little Hands, Big Work: Fun Side Walk Games ... "I decided to play with colors and following directions:) I drew a bunch of circles in different colors, while making paths. Some paths are harder then others! See how easy Green is? The idea is to choose a color and then jump in only that color as you make it to the other side."

Sidewalk Chalk Games! Draw a bunch of circles in different colors, while making paths. Some paths are harder then others! See how easy Green is? The idea is to choose a color and then jump in only that color as you make it to the other side:) You can also did some racing! You each chose a color and then race across! Practice balance by just walking on the outside of the circle. Practice following concept embedded ("Jump to the green circle", "tip toe to the red circle, march to the green circle" etc) and 2-step directions ("go to the blue circle and touch your nose)!

Monkey Milk in Mason Jars by bigredkitchen: Dark chocolate milk up top and banana milk on the bottom. Perfect for lunchboxes, these defrost in the lunch box in 4 hours but are still very cold and slushy. Give it a good shake, remove lid, and enjoy. (Also perfect for keeping kids lunches chilled!)

31 quarters in the jar at the beginning of the month, every day that they do not do their chores, they lose a quarter. Whatever is left at the end of the month they exchange for cash and the quarter jar is refilled. Not to do "allowance" for chores, but rather teach chores/responsibilities as how they contribute to family.

Whatever is left at the end of the month they exchange for cash and the quarter jar is refilled. Teaches chores/responsibilities as how they contribute to our family (vs. allowance for chores, etc.). If they don't contribute, they don't have privileges.

Santa// Letter explaining Santa to big kids. For the future....

Sweet note to tell a curious kid the truth about Santa. Love these parents explanation! I will want to look at this one day to get ideas on how to tell my kids!

Explaining santa, one day. I'm sure we'll make some changes to teach our children more about the true meaning if Christmas, but I like the take on Santa helping kids learn to believe in what they can't see.

Explaining Santa- I really, really love this. Will have to remember this for my kids one day. (:
